You can solve this by using "similar triangles".

In triangle ABC, we are looking for side AC which is x. Side AC is similar to side DF in triangle EDF.

You can solve for side x by picking two sides in triangle ABC and their corresponding sides in triangle EDF. This is what I mean:
$\frac{AC}{BC} = \frac{DF}{EF}$
Substitute for the values of AC, BC, DF and EF:
$\frac{x}{4} = \frac{11}{8} \\ \\ 8x = 4 \times 11 \\ \\ x = \frac{44}{8}$
$x = 5.5 \: units$
To solve for y, do the same thing. Pick two sides on triangle ABC and their corresponding sides in triangle DEF.
$\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{DE}{EF}$
Substitute for the values and solve:
$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{y}{8}$
$4y = 24 \\ \\ y = 6 \: units$

We have the value x to be 5.5 units and y to be 6 units.

Question # 17 Solution

Answer:

$x_{1}= \frac{mx_{2}-y_{2}+y_{1}}{m}$

Step-by-step Explanation:

The given expression

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

And we have to solve for x₁

So,

Lets solve for x₁.

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Multiply both sides by x₂ - x₁

$m(x_{2}-x_{1})= (x_{2}-x_{1})\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$m(x_{2}-x_{1})= (y_{2}-y_{1})$

$mx_{2}-mx_{1}= (y_{2}-y_{1})$

$-mx_{1}= y_{2}-y_{1}-mx_{2}$

Divide both sides by -m

$\frac{-mx_{1}}{-m}= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}-mx_{2}}{-m}$

$x_{1}= \frac{mx_{2}-y_{2}+y_{1}}{m}$

Therefore, $x_{1}= \frac{mx_{2}-y_{2}+y_{1}}{m}$

Question # 23 Solution

Answer:

$n= \frac{bx}{-b + x}$

Step-by-step Explanation:

The given expression

$\frac{nx}{b}-x=x$

And we have to solve for n

So,

Let's solve for n.

$\frac{nx}{b}-x=x$

Multiply both sides by b.

$-bn + nx = bx$

Factor out n.

$n(-b + x)= bx$

Divide both sides by -b + x.

$\frac{n(-b + x)}{-b + x}= \frac{bx}{-b + x}$

$n= \frac{bx}{-b + x}$

Therefore, $n= \frac{bx}{-b + x}$
